191: Chapter 191 Assessing the Situation and Heading to the Central Region

"Destination and number of people."

"The Central Region, Diling Blessed Land."

The cultivators waiting in line behind were very surprised to hear this destination. After all, traveling to the Central Region ruled by the Diling Sect was incredibly expensive; no cultivator could afford the teleportation fee anymore.

Just as the few cultivators behind expected this person who did not know the immensity of heaven and earth to be driven away,

the Foundation Establishment cultivator managing the teleportation array ignored the expressions of the others and instead led the Bi Luoshui Avatar to the central teleportation array.

A guard nearby was about to speak up to remind him, but noticed that this Foundation Establishment master was acting strangely, as if he had been hit by some kind of control spell. He was about to call other nearby stewards to come and take a look, but unexpectedly, just as he opened his mouth, a strand of wood energy entered his body, controlling and altering his perception, and he continued to stand guard with an expressionless face.

The cultivators behind had originally wanted to go to the City Lord's Mansion to report the strange situation here.

Seeing the guard's condition, they immediately abandoned this idea and did not dare to leave casually, just waiting quietly in this place for the Foundation Establishment steward to return.

Just like that, with the other cultivators remaining silent, offering no warnings, and even harboring some schadenfreude, the Foundation Establishment cultivator somewhat clumsily activated the cross-regional teleportation array, which had not been started for a long time.

Unlike teleportation arrays that generally connect to other secondary immortal cities, which only require thousands of mid-grade spirit stones even for long distances,

the Bi Luoshui Avatar certainly did not have that many spirit stones, so the Yin Spirit thought had to silently modify the charging method, directly extracting the spiritual energy of the entire immortal city to use as operating energy.

Once activated, the cross-regional teleportation array immediately transformed into a giant mouth capable of Earth Devouring, pulling in infinite spiritual energy.

The energy concentration in the immortal city, which was originally at level 5, dropped rapidly. Moreover, this energy was far from enough; the array frantically extracted the higher-concentration spiritual energy from within the restrictions of various buildings, as well as from the vast spirit fields outside Xuanming Immortal City.

The spiritual energy concentration within a thousand-mile radius dropped visibly to the naked eye.

Inside the City Lord's Mansion, City Lord Danyuanzi was refining a precious pill crucial for increasing his cultivation.

At this moment, in the center of the spiritual energy room, floating within the flames of the pill furnace, a round, golden, and infinitely miraculous precious pill was circulating inside.

The precious pill was just about to take form. At such a critical moment, a huge suction force suddenly came from the alchemy room. However, this restriction, which was only at the Gold Core level, was completely unable to stop the energy extraction of this Nascent Soul-level cross-regional teleportation array.

"Crack~"

Immediately, the originally dense spiritual energy in this place was quickly drained, and the laws of the precious pill, which was about to take form, shattered and were ruined due to the lack of energy.

Watching the precious medicine that he had painstakingly accumulated spirit herbs for over 100 years to refine be destroyed right before his eyes, City Lord Danyuanzi's eyes turned blood-red, and his powerful mid-stage Gold Core aura spread out from the City Lord's Mansion.

A divine sense was also heading towards the center where the spiritual energy was gathering.

"I want to see who that suicidal thing is, daring to disturb my alchemy. I will definitely strip his tendons, peel his skin, refine his soul, and light it as a lamp."

However, after the divine sense touched the Bi Luoshui Avatar, a wave of law-level fluctuations immediately repelled City Lord Danyuanzi's divine sense, and it was quickly infected and scorched.

City Lord Danyuanzi, having lost a wisp of divine sense, turned pale, his spirit stinging with pain.

But he could not care about that; he immediately rushed out of the City Lord's Mansion and looked at that figure.

"This... is a Nascent Soul cultivator? I have only felt such law-based aura from the Sect Master and the Elders."

"No, it shouldn't be a Nascent Soul cultivator. If it were, they could just release their aura and order me to open the cross-regional teleportation array; why go through such trouble?"

"Or perhaps it's a Nascent Soul cultivator from some Demonic Sect, or maybe a False Nascent Soul cultivator."

...At this moment, the expression in City Lord Danyuanzi's eyes was uncertain, various guesses intertwining in his mind. His original anger and killing intent had completely dissipated, and his spirit was instead exceptionally clear.

"But I can't afford to offend any of these existences. I'd better report to the Sect Master first; at least I will have fulfilled my responsibilities as City Lord."

He immediately took out a communication jade slip and reported the situation on the ground to the Qingxuan Sect Master.

"Sect Master, there is a suspected Nascent Soul cultivator here using the path to travel to another great region..."

The Bi Luoshui Avatar standing in the center of the teleportation plaza was not idle either; instead, the Yin Spirit thought was mobilizing the array here to accelerate the speed of spiritual energy extraction, not wanting to let it charge slowly and risk some unforeseen changes.

Meanwhile, the energy concentration of Xuanming Immortal City had already dropped below 1 point, and many cultivators in their cultivation rooms and caves were awakened by this commotion, also coming out angrily to investigate.

Seeing this grand array, which did not feel like a Gold Core aura, they immediately sobered up with clear eyes, returned to their homes, activated their protective arrays, and did not come out again; some even completely opened them to let the spiritual energy flow away entirely.

The cross-regional teleportation array was already 90% charged. Feeling the increasing number of gazes fixed on this place, although he was not afraid of these cultivators who were only at the Gold Core or Foundation Establishment stages, he was afraid that a Nascent Soul cultivator might come to interfere, which would cause his subsequent plans to fall apart.

The Bi Luoshui Avatar immediately took out four or five storage bags on his person, and a large number of low-grade and mid-grade spirit stones were shattered by him, reverting into spiritual energy to continue charging.

"Thank you for the support of the kind-hearted cultivators."

...95% 97% Just at this moment, the Incarnation felt a spatial fluctuation coming from high above, as if some powerful existence was about to break through space to come over.

Immediately, the Bi Luoshui Avatar poured out all his spirit materials and spirit ores, crushing them to restore them into spiritual energy, and immediately pushed the charging progress up.

...99% 100% Immediately, the cross-regional teleportation array rose with rays of light, enveloping the Bi Luoshui Avatar. The Incarnation felt the teleportation array here extending a force towards a coordinate in the distance.

The fluctuations of spatial laws were clearly visible to the Yin Spirit thought, much easier than comprehending that "black box" in the Blessed Land.

There was no earth-shattering scene; with a burst of spatial distortion, the Bi Luoshui Avatar disappeared from the spot.

Seeing this scene, City Lord Danyuanzi and the many cultivators in the city breathed a sigh of relief. This master they could not afford to offend had finally left, only leaving behind this Xuanming Immortal City with exhausted spiritual energy.

The buildings that were originally supported by spiritual energy and arrays were teetering, and the spirit fields and spirit herbs outside the city in the distance lost their spirituality and withered completely. A large number of spirit materials and spirit objects underwent changes in such a low-spiritual environment; either their grades dropped, or they simply turned into ordinary mundane items.

"This immortal city is as good as ruined."

At this moment, an old cultivator with flowing white beard and an immortal, transcendent demeanor finally broke through space and appeared here.

City Lord Danyuanzi could not feel any aura of pressure from him, but the fluctuations of laws were genuine.

City Lord Danyuanzi hurriedly stepped forward to pay his respects. "Inner Disciple City Lord Danyuanzi pays respects to the Second Elder."

Second Elder Qingzhenzi looked at the scene of devastation, not caring in the slightest. This immortal city was merely a venue for facilitating communication between various places and harvesting resources and spirit stones from other rogue cultivators. Even if it were abandoned, for the Qingxuan Sect, which ruled and absorbed the countless spiritual energy of the entire Southern Region, it was just a drop in the ocean and of no consequence.
